Poor grammar, does it wind anyone else up?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I hate it on here when people use poor grammar, whether it's on their profile or in messages! It's always bothered me my whole life, even when I'm talking to someone and they use the wrong word or mispronounce it. I actually have to refrain myself from correcting them as I honestly believe that people genuinely don't know better. What's worse is when people have misspelled or poor grammar in thier heading of their profile! FFS people, check your spelling and grammar before saving it. Us poor grammar snobs have to see the damn mistake everytime we scroll over your profile otherwise, it's enough to give me a migraine 😤. OK rant over! Lol

It doesn’t bother me at all.
I tend to use correct grammar, there’s lots of reasons why some people don’t or can’t.
If I can understand what they’re saying why does it matter?
Also should have used spell check yourself… |

No, it doesn't annoy me. Usually, I can work out what they're trying to say and recognise that some of users here may be dyslexia, using a second language or maybe just not as well educated, like myself. |

Honestly someone getting worked up over misspelling or incorrect grammar, I find, is alot more off-putting than the original offense.

Bit harsh as you have no idea if the person's first language is English; if they had special educational needs etc. I'm a fan of good spelling and grammar but I try not to judge others on this particular issue. I'm judgy enough on everything else! |

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
It does, yes. But I remind myself that people have dyslexia so a proof read won’t necessarily highlight mistakes. I also remember the fact I have read a book for pleasure every single day of my life and my parents enabled that by taking me to a library every Saturday when I was young. Because of that I became good at spelling, grammar, sentence construction, punctuation and prose. Not everyone had/has parents who encourage and enable that.
I also believe the prevalence of electronics with autocorrect has perpetuated a lack of need to be good at spelling - the machine sorts it out for you.
So, I tend to overlook it unless it’s a gift of a Freudian mistake! 😆 |

I’d never point it out. Why do that. I probably wouldn’t engage though but they wouldn’t know why. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
As others have said, OP you may want to check your profile if you dislike typos and incorrect grammar. Yours is littered with both! |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
If people mispronounce a word it means they've learned that word through reading, so perhaps shouldn't be judged. Many aspects of pronunciation and even grammar are features of local dialect. I share a contempt for lazy text speak and the like, but not for the odd error. |

Exactly this.
It's ok to have preferences and things that put you off, but they don't need to be shared or pointed out to the person just to get it off your own chest. |

Grammarly says of your piece :-
1. No plagiarism
2. 2 spelling mistakes
3. I example of lack of conciseness
4. No problems with word choice
5. 2 grammar errors
6. 2 punctuation errors
7. Readability okay
8. No further writing issues
There. Now it has been marked for you , you can correct it , repost it and hate yourself less. |

If the poor grammar is down to blatant laziness and apathy then yes - I do get somewhat disconcerted (and a tad annoyed), especially when they are asking a question that I cannot answer due to equivocacy or miscomprehension.
If the poor grammar is down to dyslexia or a physical impairment (poor eyesight...) then no. That form of 'poor grammar' can still (sometimes) be understood from the word 'constructs' or constituents. |

I was going to say, only if I can't decipher it. If it's only minor mistakes, ie the OP's profile text, it wouldn't bother me. Most people make mistakes at some point, especially on forum posts. |

I'm rubbish when it comes to colons, semi-colons and hyphens. I'm not much better with apostrophes.
English is a beautiful and complicated language. The grammar is difficult and the spelling a minefield. I think we should bear in mind that a lot of people find spelling and grammar difficult for many reasons and a lot of people on fab have English as a second language and cut everyone a bit of slack.
That being said certain things do annoy me but I try to concentrate on what's being said rather than how...I don't always succeed |

Being dyslexic, I have to work hard to ensure that my grammar and spelling are correct, as such, whilst it doesn't make me angry, I don't like to see it in a post or profile; I also don't like to see text-speak inserted into a sentence.
OP, starting a post about grammar and spelling is always a brave thing to do as it leaves your post open to such scrutiny so good on you, even if you have written every time as one word.

I think there is a certain amount of forgiveness. Like others have stated, English might not be their first language. But text talk or stupid made up words are grating. Also punctuation is a must, we've read through a few profiles and some haven't used a comma or full stop. Which makes deciphering them arduous. |

It's a pretty common bug bear for a lot of people and I think it's akin to other people's quirks for needing things organised or ordered in a certain way.
I feel real physical discomfort when I witness someone unable to navigate a computer and have to restrain myself from grabbing the mouse out of their hand.
I don't mind spelling and grammar mistakes but seeing sentences that start without capital letters makes me twitch. Same goes for a lack of paragraphs.
A said above it's only a dick move if your singling someone out and you didn't

Nothing on the site winds me up. The occasional spelling error or grammatical mistake is fine. If the entire message is just a jumble of letters/is incoherent then I will judge. |

"I'm dyslexic but bad grammar still bugs me, if a message or profile is low effort I'm going to assume everything they do is low effort including in the bedroom."
I am dyslexic and very good in the bedroom and were ever. I am very arty so that come into it makes things different kinky and fun and erotic.

I've not got much room to manoeuvre, as well as having some educational issues, I also have fat fingers, long nails and should have gone for a bigger phone. So typos are common with me.
However I cannot stand it when some is asking about us both and uses the word, actually they aren't even words, yous, youse, or even worse use.
It drives me potty. I don't comment but it immediately gives me the ick. And it seems like a Scouse thing too so loads of locals seem to use it.

Yes, but I also understand that it is partly because beaten into me as a child and I've worked as a copywriter.
Language, particularly English, evolves its grammar and definitions over time. So trying to be more tolerant.
Misuse of commas and awful run on sentences are a particular bug bear

This might be unpopular:
Complaining about grammar mistakes and doing them while complaining, that’s something.
You don’t refrain yourself, you just refrain; It is not “thier heading”; It is not “everytime” but “every time”; it is not “Mrs” but “Mrs.” . May be more … overall you are most definitely correct. Some messages don’t make any sense. We all do mistakes.
P.S. you’ll probably find some grammar mistakes in my non-native English haha
